SRK to do a Clooney act in HNY.

Shah Rukh Khan's character in 'Happy New Year' will have several traits in common with George Clooney's 'Danny Ocean' in the 2001 film, 'Ocean's 11'. And this tempts us into looking for more similarities between the other characters in the Farah Khan film and the Steven Soderbergh hit.

However, while Ocean's 11 is about a heist, Farah's film is reportedly about a group of inept dancers locked in a competition. A friend of SRK elaborated on his role in HNY, "He will be very cool with the girls, yet emphatically want to remain single. He will lead the pack, which will comprise of AbhishekBachchan, Vivaan Shah and BomanIrani. The other guys will follow him, look up to him for directions. Yes, much like Clooney in the Ocean trilogy."

TOI has also learnt that Shah Rukh will sport a mature look. "He will play his age," the friend added. TOI had earlier reported, SRK will wear his hair longer than usual for the role. While other details about SRK's look are being planned, what with the film just a month away from going on floors, Farah is yet to finalise her leading lady - a Marathi bar dancer.

In fact, a source close to Katrina Kaif confirmed that she is not doing the film, contrary to the news doing the rounds in certain sections of the media. Another source tells us that SRK has second thoughts about casting TV actress and Sushant Singh Rajput's girlfriend Ankita Lokhande in the role. Ankita's name has been propped up as a strong contender. "Ankita is very keen to be a part of Happy New Year, but it is not certain if she will get the role," added a source.
